"Avec le temps" ("With time") is a 1971 song written, composed and sung by the French artist Léo Ferré. It was recorded in October 1970 for volume 2 of his Amour Anarchie album, but the record label dismissed the song, seen as not fitting the general mood of others songs.
It was released as a 45 one year after, then on a compilation LP called Avec le temps : Les chansons d'amour de Léo Ferré.
This tragic and beautifully sad love song, inspired by Ferré's own disenchantment and recent breakup, has been an instant classic. It is one of his most famous songs (along with Paris canaille, Jolie môme, C'est extra), becoming with time the most constantly covered French song worldwide.
